- Miyagi's Stage Introduction Catchphrase

Miyagi Kashita (河岸田 宮城) is a member of AKB0048's 151st Generation and the ace of AKB0048's Team A. She also has got a solo career.

Miyagi is also known as Miyaya (みやや), Miyachan (みやちゃん), Miya (みや) and Gun-Girl. She is known for her cute, innocent and pure stage personality despite having a rather cold personality off-stage. Because of her skills in the usage of rifles, she's called Gun-Girl. She's also known for her close relationship with her fellow member Miyabi Honoka.

Appearance
Miyagi has got long black hair which she usually wears in two twin tails. Her eyes are in a dark blue hue. The upper part of her eyes are a bit darker then the lower part of her eyes, being almost black. Her skin is pale. Similar to other members of AKB0048, she has got heart-shaped light reflections in her eyes and on her hair. As well, in her eyes are three other points for an unknown reason.

She does not have a favourite clothing style or colour. However in public, she’s often seen with cute-styled clothes in pastel colours. She doesn’t wear much make-up aside of basements. However, she’s spending very much time with preparing herself for the day. Every morning, she almost needs an hour to prepare herself. She also takes very much care on her hair and does not allow many people to even touch them. Known people who are allowed to touch them are her best friend Honoka and Acchan.

Personality
Miyagi's personality is separated into her on-stage self and her real self, although she switches between both at will. She is also very good in holding up her on-stage self, however due to other members' comments and her nickname "Gun-Girl", several hints onto her real self are public. The majority of the public audience seems to believe that the nickname is an inser-joke, however.

Miyagi's on-stage self is described as innocent and pure girl who couldn't harm anything. She's commonly seen togethr with Honoka and cares a lot for her best friend. However, she seems to be a bit fragile and not self-confident. She usually keeps a smile on her face and works together with the other members. She usually doesn't speak as much as Honoka does.

Miyagi's real self is more or less the opposite. Off-stage, Miyagi rarely displays emotions aside of her friendship to Honoka. She usually is somewhere where Honoka is but unlike on-stage, Miyagi doesn't care a lot about offending or hurting other members. She is confident into her abilities and serious about them. Because she is used to get what she wants, Miyagi doesn't fear doing everything for it. She doesn't seem interessted in others, aside of Honoka but as long as they don't annoy her, she doesn't offend them in any wise. She seems to know a few of her flows but doesn't accept them. Generally, she is a little bit over-confident and considers herself to be more or less invincible, not counting reading and writing. Miyagi is a bad loser and usually tries to find an excurse why losing isn't her fault.

Miyagi is one of 0048's best combatants. Her favorite weapons are rifles in general but she has displayed skills in hand-to-hand combat too. It’s implied that Miyagi has also talent in stealing different things, such as cookies for Honoka. In general, Miyagi’s a good actress and good in learning texts by heart. However, her general school education is on the level of an elementary student. She isn’t able to read Kanji, Katakana and Romaji at all and has a lot problems with Hiragana. Even thought, Miyagi is supposed to learn this, she doesn’t really do so. She doesn’t attend a regular high school because of this too.

History
Miyagi was born and grew up on Tekistar. Tekistar is a planet with three suns and the highest criminal rate in the universe. The planet is rather little compared to other planets. Miyagi lived in the capital of the planet and her family hold a high position in socity. While the family is a major force in fiancial and political questions, they have build their power through the suburbs of the planet's capital which are more or less "lawless". The Kashita-family has build up much power and respect to them there. Technically, the planet is under entertainment ban but the ban isn't enforced strongly at all anymore, as a revolution in the subrubs, lead by the Kashita-family alongside others around SC0024 had caused the DES system there to lose power. Police forces are corrupted by money, giving the suburbs another protection of their power level. Towards tourist, the planet, especially the capital, look like a place where the only problem is the great gab between poor and rich. While not caring about the political aspects, some families in the city and suburbs are caring, teenagers in the suburbs usually try to be known as most powerful but unlike the adults, not by political power or financial independence but by pure combat skills. Most of the time, this position is filled with a member of the Kashita-family's closest circle.

Miyagi herself grew up with everything, she needed She left school with nine years because she then believed that she already knew everything, she'd ever need. With thirteen, she beat the former "strongest" in the suburbs after training a lot of time and learning several things. None of them, however, included basic things as reading and writing. It was a tradition in the family that the males would overtake the official parts, being present in politics and finances while the females were staying at home. However, 'at home' usually didn't only refer house wifes.

When Miyagi was fourteen and a half year, her mother had a serious accident which caused her mother, Miyagi and her brother problems. While the family's buisness was continued by her aunt, Miyagi realized that she had been living in a dreamworld. After hearing a argument between her mother and the current family head, her grandparents, she decided that she wanted to do something other then the life, she had always imagined to be hers. In November SC0122, she send an audition tape to 0048 which seemed to be something, she'd like to do. She knew that she had combat skills and after realizing that not all planets were as "perfect" as Tekistar, she decided that she wanted to change something. She wasn't exactly sure about the idol-part of 0048 before joining but after joining, she realized that being an idol of 0048 was exactly the acitivity, she enjoyed most.
